After I eat a plate of peppers and beans, there will be a call for urgent action.

This, not so much.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Everything with Obama and liberals is urgent, some kind of crisis, which demands some quick response.

Going all the way back to early Obama times, we had to pass Porkulus because of the urgency and crisis in the economy, and need for infrastructure repair.

I should say it’s a crisis if it ties in with liberal goals. Other issues, such as Keystone pipeline, can be studied for 5 years, with no firm decision made either way,

My bullshit decoder ring says:

“Urgent action” —> “investments” —> TAXES

[Retain Mike]

I simply cannot share a faith that transfers so much power to them. I have to remain skeptical of Michael Mann, Malcolm Hughes, the hockey stick, and the models created as linchpins to the U.N. International Panel on Climate Change. I am not convinced by the interpretation of selective tree ring, ice core, and coral reef data merged into the instrument measurements of recent centuries. I remain incredulous when raw data disappears after being subjected to linear regression analysis, which also proves mathematically the same visual image would appear for a clusters of boulders at the bottom of a landslide as for Stonehenge.

I guess one of my early doubts came when I recalled a Naval Institute Proceeding article from the early 70’s. The subject was a crude oil tanker retrofitted with an ice-breaker bow for transit through the Northwest Passage. I wondered how the Arctic could be continuously warming over the next forty years and there not be regular seasonal passage of merchant traffic between Europe, the West Coast, Japan, Korea and China?

When all the controversy arose about the East Anglia’s emails, I searched through several pages on Google before I finally found the text of the emails. After reading a couple hundred I could confirm understandings that the tenor was arrogant and deceptive. But what really got to me was that they had destroyed research raw data. Other scientists would not be able to conduct their own analysis, or review whether the samples chosen from the population were representative of the whole. Supposedly they were appropriately blessed by six independent (?) reviews. However, for me the destruction of original research data is fatal to the credibility of all involved.

The accumulation of temperature data is also problem for me. The process begins when remote areas are inaccessible. Stations are located in urban areas and within walking or riding distance of an office. Over time transportation becomes easier and more are located in remote areas. However, previous stations keep being swallowed up by urban expansion. Therefore, temperatures have to increase over time because stations increasingly record micro-climate results. I want to see a graph with the last three hundred years on the horizontal axis and all the stations used on the vertical axis. If the data is to be believed then most the original stations would disappear and others would be substituted over time to maintain the same geographic dispersion.

I cannot get past the magnitudes involved in this issue. Carbon dioxide represents less than four particles for 10,000 within the atmosphere. The water vapor that CO2 bonds with for mitigation as in carbonated water is 25 times more plentiful in the atmosphere, and 2.5 million times more plentiful in oceans. The natural engines driving mitigation of a CO2 molecule are awesome, when one considers a single hurricane uses enough energy to power Japan for a year.

Thinking of magnitude reminds me of this article in the National Geographic that pilloried a scientist, whose research involving Mars, demonstrated changes in the earth’s temperature could be accounted for by changes in the sun’s intensity. Of course he was dealing with data over a limited time. However, folks did not criticize him for any failure account for other factors that could affect Martian temperatures. Possibly that would bring forward the embarrassing fact that changes in the sun’s intensity is not considered a huge factor in the climate change models.

If the information is undeniable, then those few deniers would have been destroyed in open debates long ago. The results of those proceedings would have had media air time comparable to that devoted to flight 370. Instead the term climate change has become popular and global warming is now out of style. As far as I am concerned these people we are supposed to place our faith in have a long row to hoe before I am willing to buy into what they are saying.

The ultimate narcissism. Thinking that you ca control the weather. It is a modern Tower of Babel. If mankind unites, we can scale the heaven and wrest the levers of weather control from God.

[eyedigress]

Impeach Obamas ass and all this global whatever crap will disappear.

Easy fix.

[dirtymac]

How can that be?

He told us during the campaign cycle for this first term that just by electing him we would see the oceans recede, blue skies, and butterflies. He was to be the one that we have been waiting for.

What the hell is going on? this is his second term and we have not seen any of this stuff.

Look at all of the hurricanes that hit this country in the past few years. Devastating!! Or, wait, was there any???

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Can any of the Glo-Bull warmers explain this from the past?

Droughts in the Southwest in the Chaco Canyon area.

1125-1180AD.

1270-1274AD.

1275-1290AD.

In 1831 a massive drought hit the Western Kansas area and the water holes all dried up. Mountain Man Jedediah Smith was looking for water for his wagon train on the Santa Fe trail when he disappeared, believed jumped by Indians.

Not far from where Smith disappeared, back in the 1880s Clayton NM was hit with a massive snow in the late summer or early fall, then in 1914, a massive flood hit Clayton NM.

Maybe it was Bison passing gas, Indians hauling their logs to Chaco with CO2 producing human labor, or those motorized covered wagons.

If such urgent action is necessary, then it’s time to cut the travel budgets of federal agencies by 99%: it’s for the children.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

"The findings in this National Climate Assessment underscore the need for urgent action to combat the threats from climate change, protect American citizens and communities today, and build a sustainable future for our kids and grandkids," the White House said.
